A Brazilian mother and her lesbian lover are accused of tearing off her nine-year-old son's penis before beheading him because he reminded her of her abusive father.

27-year-old Rosana Candido and 28-year-old Kacyla Pessoa also reportedly scraped the skin off the boy's face and sewed an improvised female sex organ onto his body because they believed he 'wanted to be a girl'.

The horror continued as the couple then tried to gouge out the child's eyes before cutting his body up at their home in Samambaia, 20 miles from the capital Brasilia.

Candido reportedly left home with her son Rhuan after her husband, who lives in Acre, near Peru, lost custody of the boy five years ago.

The duo allegedly fumbled the attempt to hide the corpse after the brutal murder.

The duo clumsily attempted to burn some of his remains on a barbecue before stuffing them in a suitcase and throwing it in a sewer. Some other remains were hidden in two backpacks at their house.

Candido and Pessoa have confessed to killing the boy and now face homicide, torture and concealing charges. They are said to have told the investigators that they mutilated him with rudimentary tools because 'the boy wanted to become a girl.'

According to DailyMail, local reports claim, "After removing his penis, the women said they sewed an improvised version of the female organ onto the mutilated area."

The mother allegedly claimed that the kid was a burden and hindrance to her relationship with her lover. She also felt "felt hatred and no love" for her son because he reminded her of her father who reportedly abused her.

Rhuan's dad who lives in Acre, reportedly told the officers that Candido absconded with her son 5-years-ago after he lost custody. She later went and lived with Pessoa and her daughter who is now 9-years-old and put in care.

Police chief Guilherme Melo stated the cruelty of the crime had left the investigators shocked. He told O Tempo, "She killed her son, quartered, decapitated, plucked the skin and tried to get rid of the body. It was a very terrible case."
